After a 17 hour bus journey we were just glad to arrive in La Serena and get off the bus. The rooms at the hostel werent ready so we took off to a cafe for a while to revive ourselves.
We quickly appreciated how nice it was to walk down paved streets, ... Read more >

After our last morning on the Salt Plains, our jeeps took us to the border. Chile is much more modern than Bolivia and even from the border crossing it seemed to us that they try to distance themselves from the Bolivians. The Chilean boarder crossing ... Read more >

The town of Uyuni reminds me of a town in the wild west. There is nothing there but it is hot during the day and freezing cold at night. I'm glad we were only there for one afternoon, but it seems that its just a stop off before you go to the salt plains! ... Read more >

What can i say about Potosi? It's a town built around silver mines, which the Spanish bled dry and now the people here struggle to make a living mainly mining whatever they can find left in the mountain.
The main attraction here is the tour of the ... Read more >

We´d heard about the Bolivian habit of protesting, and even seen evidence of it in Sucre and our guide had warned us that its very unusual to have a trip untouched by demonstration and today we had our share.......
We knew about ... Read more >

This city is like no other capital city I´ve seen. It's small, pretty, fairly quiet and clean! Perhaps this is because the government is in La Paz, and the centre of commerce too. The only thing which upset this idyllic city was ... Read more >

We arrived in Cochabamba not really knowing what to expect from this town, as it isn´t even mentioned in one of our guide books.
It has the biggest Jesus Christ statue in the world (bigger than the one in Rio) but I heard that the one in Rio ... Read more >

We´ve been enjoying life in La Paz, as for the first time in ages we´ve spent four nights in one place!
Yesterday we went to a spinning class with Alison and then had a cuban lunch, followed by walking round the markets. In the evening ... Read more >

Today was the first day in La Paz, and it started quite well for us. We went on a bus tour of the city in the morning and visited the Moon Valley. It is a weird place, it looks like a cave with the roof taken off!! It hasn't rained there for 50 years ... Read more >

Our journey to Bolivia started at 7.15am, where we were loaded into a minibus which took us to the bus station. I think the driver was crazy, and he did actually force himself onto the wrong side of the road, rather than use the part of the road going ... Read more >

Puno is a small and quite boring town, tourists come here mainly to visit the famous lake Titicaca. It's like a giant market, where people continuously try to sell you knitwear, rugs, and a multitude of alpaca things. We arrived in the late afternoon ... Read more >
